What a mess of a Mensa Man,
scouring poets of the world, befriending
a Perky winner buried in a Deep South swamp
as his father's belt hangs from yellowed wallpaper --
a reminder of a crippled childhood and now, he toasts
a drunk, an ex Navy man that has never seen the sea.

What fate lies ahead for George of the Yukon,
perhaps a burial, face down, ass up, sums up
one that never won.

We see that burying people face down "was the preferred way to prevent malevolent corpses from returning to do harm." (National Geographic)

We suppose that planting George of the Yukon like that would end the blog, Dancehall and Penny-ante? At least he couldn't be any colder of spirit.

A proper burial they say, keeps the vrykolakas away...

I'm sorry, Chimp, you're wrong again;
If you read the group, you'd know
I live in a town called Toronto
That's in Ontario.

Putting it in the Yukon instead
Is very incredibly dumb of you,
Like putting London in Ireland --
Oh, wait, you do that too.

You are just too clever.

So, your 'Father's House' was maybe about you, mine was about 'George of the Yukon'
surely you know about Sgt. Preston...oh and I never put London in Ireland.

Face it, as your father suggested in your mostly autobiographical poem, you're a loser.

As far as I'm concerned, you are George of the Yukon, banned from the USA. Live with it.
